(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The present return exhibits a lower mortality than has been recorded for any week since the commencement of the year. The deaths in London in the week that ended last Saturday were 1,586. The average number in correspond ing weeks of ten years 1854.63 is, with a correction for in crease of population, 1,409 ; it appears, therefore, that the metropolis is still far from being in a healthy state, as the deaths of last week were 177 in excess of the estimated amount. The deaths by zymotic diseases were 323, the corrected average for corresponding week being 292. Fatal cases of small-pox rose from Bin the previous week to 20 last week. Measles, on the contrary, decreased from 32 to 18. Scarla tina carried off 55 persons, diphtheria 11, whooping-cough 56, and typhus 63. Of the deaths registered last week from diseases of the respiratory organs, 248 occurred from bronchitis, 102 from pneumonia, 4 from pleurisy, and 23 from asthma. Phthisis or consumption was fatal in 182 cases. One hundred and sixty persons died from diseases of the brain and nervous system ; of these, 47 children are returned as having died from convulsions, 42 persons died from apoplexy. and 29 from paralysis. 693 persons died under 20 years of age, 493 were 20 an d u nder 60, and 400 were 60 years and upwards. Th e d eat h s o f 7 nonagenarians are re corded, the oldest of whom was a widow, who had attained the age of 93 years. 59 deaths occurred from accidents, 11 persons, 7 of whom were child ren , died from burns or scalds, 14 children were suffocated, an d 27 persona were killed by fractures or contusions, Many of these lives were probably sacrificed through carelessness, and by the neglect of ordi nary precaution. The son of a schoolmaster, aged 12 years, died at De Beauvoir-square, West Hackney, from effusion on the chest from want of proper food, The daughter of a sawyer, re siding at 8, New-square, Lireeffite; died from effusion of serum into the pericardum from want of food and clothing, and exposure. A female, aged 39 years, employed as a collar-stitcher, died at 33A, Baltic. street, St. Luke's, from inflammation of the lungs, caused by destitution and ex posure to cold. The daughter of a weaver, aged one year, died at 15, Collingwood-street, Bethnal-green, of emacia tion from want of proper nourishment. The infant son of a labourer died suddenly at 3, Latime cottages, Mile-end, from cold and exposure. A greengrocer, aged 40 years, died at the Westminster Hospital from tetanus, the result of an injury to his chin by a whip lash whilst striking his horse. Last week the births of 1,086 boys and 1,036 girls, in all 2,122 children, were registered in London. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1851.63 the average number (corrected) was 2,044.

A respectably-attired young woman, who ap peared to feel her position very acutely, and who gave the name of Selina Bent, aged 18, a domestic servant, was charged before Mr. Barker, yesterday, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, with wilfully mur dering her new-born infant, in the City-road. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, attended for the defence, and Inspector Judge, N division, watched the case on behalf of the police. Mrs. Theresa Lavey, of 341, City-road, said— The prisoner was my servant, and had been so for about 8 months. On Friday three weeks I left my house about a quarter-past 12, and returned home about 4. I knocked at the door twice before I was admitted, and then rwas much frightened at seeing the prisoner looking very ill. She then went into the kitchen, and I asked her what was the matter with her, and she said it was nothing but natural causes. I asked her for the address of her mother, but she would not give it to me, saying that she did not want her mother. Feeling dissatisfied I sent for my medical man. She said she would go to her mother the following day. When the doctor came she was still very obstinate, but when I said I would send for a police-constable she gave me the ad dress of her mother. I went to the mother, who said that she had no room for her daughter, but after a great deal of persuasion she came to see her daughter. The prisoner said she knew nothing was the matter with her, and rather insulted her. Cross-examined—l was not aware what was the matter with her, nor was I aware that she was ill in the morning. I did not refuse to let her go home. The doctor saw her at my request. Police-sergeant Taylor, 33 N, said—On Friday night, the 29th of January last, about half-past 10, I was called to 341, City-road. From what I heard I went into the kitchen and saw the prisoner sit ting there apparently very ill. I sent for Dr. Powell. I assisted her upstairs. I then made a search for the child. I went to the privy in the backyard, and after wrenching off the seat I found the body of a male child nearly covered over with soil, with a piece of oid stocking tied tightly round its neck. I then washed the child and called the doctor to see it. Mr. Joseph Taylor Powell, M.D., 325, City-road, said—l was called by Mrs. Lavey about half-past 5 on the 29th of last month. I went downstairs, and saw the prisoner in the kitchen, with her hand upon her face, with a great many marks of blood about the place. I asked her what was the matter, and she said "Nothing at all." She did not want any doctor. I tried some time to find out what was the matter. She would not let me examine her, At about half-past 8 I was fetched again, and correctly examined her, and gave it as my opinion that the prisoner had been delivered of a child. She was taken upstairs, and I then ascertained that within a few hours she had been delivered of a child. After wards I was called downstairs into the kitchen, and found the sergeant washing a dead child. I examined it and found a piece of stuff round its neck. I have since made a post mortem examination. Externally I found that the naval string bad been torn about an inch and a half. The face and bead were very much congested and the lips livid. Internally the brain was congested. as were the lungs, which floated in water. The lungs were full of air all over. The heart contained no blood. The other organs were perfectly healthy, and the stomach was empty. The child had partly breathed. Mr. Barker—What do you say was the cause of death ? Witness—l should say it was suffocation. Mr. Barker—Was the piece of stuff tied tightly round the neck ? Witness—Yes: the skin under the ligature was white, and the parts above and below were raised. There were indentations from the texture of the ligature. Cross-examined—l will not undertake to swear -e was any separate existence of the child from the. its mots, : r ' Mr. Bear , :aid an inquest bad been held, and the jury returned a fie: diet of wilful murder, but the coroner said he hoped :he magistrate would send the case for the concealment of birth. Mr. Barker said the prisoner' would be sent to the Central Criminal Court for trial. SAD END OF A YELVERTON. Mr. W. D. Cooper, the so li citor to the vestry, attended to support the complm'i it, and Mr. Layton, vestry clerk of Islington, watche d the case on behalf of some of the freeholders of Tht ) Grove, The facts of the case need not be given, as they are fully recapitulated in the jad t 7tnent. Mr. Bodkin gave judgment a a follows:—This case comes before us in consequen te of a complaint made by the vestry of the pari th of St. Par eras under the 7th section of the . 'Metropolis Local Amendment Act, 1862, against Mr. Lake, for that he being the owner of a certain buih' ing and'erectien, known as No. 1, The Grove, H ighgate, did erect there a certain building beyond t lie general line of building without the consent of the Metropolitan Board of Works, the distance of s ach line of build ing from the highway not exceedia ig L'Oft. We have given the best consideration in oil r power to what was urged on either side upon th o hearing of this complaint; and it appears to us 1 hat the case on behalf of the complainants was eat tablished without question. It was proved by then aor admitted by the defendant, that The Grove is . 5 within the Metro politan district; that the goner: t 1 line of building has been decided by the superin :tending architect to the Metropolitan Board of W . orks„ as set forth in a certificate duly made and signed by him, which, with a plan annexed thereto, was laid before Us at the hearing—that the gene ral line of build ing is within 50ft. of a highway— -that the erection which is the subject of compla int projects be yend such general line, and that it has been erected without the sanction rit the consent in writing of the Metropolitan Bor ad of Works. The defendant objeo ted firstly that the road in front of the houses in " T.he Grove," sand within 50 feet of the line described tes the general line," is a private road, and not a highway witb.in the meaning of the 75th section of the act ire question, and he referred to section 80, which rape als the proviso of section 106 of the Local Manaseinent Act of 1855, a s t o re pairing streets not beings; highways, and to s ec ti ons 105 and 108 of the act cef 1862, Secondly, t h at " The Grove," is not a stray et, row, or place withi n the meaning of the act. Th erdly, that the b u ildi ngs complained of is erected on an old substructure, an d are raised on walls previously 'xisting ; that th ere is no prohibition in the act as to raising a buildi ng except in cases specified in sectiotl 89 of the act o f 1862, which does not apply to l'he buildings in question, but he admitted that a part of the more projecting portions of those buildings is not erected on any previously existing wall ; and fourthly, that- the Metropolitan Board of Works have no jurisdiction in this matter; that they have no power to deal with an application to erect in his ease; that it is not necessary to have their consent in writing to such erection, and that the application alleged to have been made by him to the board, was made really in consequence of a notification from the builder whom he employed in reference to the straws ture itself, and not in relation to any consent re quired for the erection beyond the alleged "general line." Upon a full consideration of Mr. Lake's objection, and after inspecting the premises, we consider that "The Grove" is undoubtedly a high way within the meaning of the act. It has been for many years a footway, freely used by the public as a general and unrestricted thoroughfare ; and as to the roadway running parallel thereto the inhabi tants appear to us to have lost any control which they may have once had over it by their failure for more than one year to claim the right of closing it. Mr. Lake's argument, that the parish cannot repair it without notice under sec tion 106 of the act of 1855, and that no notice of such intention has ever been given, appears to us to lean the other way, since it would tend rather to show that the parish deemed itself liable to repair without the notice which must be given were it a private road. But there is really no force in this argument, since it is not contended that the parish has ever repaired the road, or intend to do so; the parochial authorities have asserted their right over the road in another way, namely, by cleansing ani lighting it ; besides these two, both footway and road are, in our judgment, undoubtedly streets or highways, within the meaning of the interpretation clause of the act of 1855, which (sec. 250) defines the word " street " to apply to any highway, road. footway, passage, whether a thoroughfare or not, &c. 2 That " The Grove" is a " row "of houses within the meaning of the act, although the houses are not attached one to the other. The words of the 75th section of the act of 1862 are ample to include such a row of houses as " The Grove." Those houses are not semi-detached villas, or are at a considerable distance from each other, and from the road within their own grounds, and which in that case it is pre sumed might be altered according to the tastes of their respective owners, without prejudice to the public interests; 3. And with reference to the only substantial objection by the defendant, that the buildings are not new buildings, but the alteration of existing ones, we consider that the projections complained of are manifestly separated into two distinct buildings, and must be separated, as they are differently circumstanced. There is first the projecting portion of a three story building, adjoin ing the house, the ground-floor story of which has been built a considerable time, probably for many years. The defendant has added thereto, or raised, a superstructure of two floors, and we conceived that he was fully justified in doing this without the con sent of the Metropolitan board of Works, the juris diction of the board being limited to new buildings only, it appeared to us that the word " raise," used in one part of the 75th section of the act of 1862 must be construed to mean "erect," and not "heighten." The other part of the projection, viz., the two buildings in front of the three-storied erection stands in very different circumstances. This is entirely a new building, erected, except a, very small portion, on the north side upon an en. tirely new foundation, and covering ground the greater portion of which was previously uncovered. We are of opinion, therefore, that the present is a building within the meaning of the act, and that it has been erected beyond a " general line," within 50 feet from a highway, and without the consent in writing of the Metropolitan Board of Works; and that the defendant's fourth objecti on i s untena ble. We therefore determine that the said complaint, so far as it relates to the low buildi ngs pro j ect i ng be yondtisae ttiho enand three w storied rpor that ti the o is d demo lish so much of the buildi ngs comp l a i ne d of which are beyond the "gener a l line," ande p fe r n oy d e a d a t d o o our sa tisfaction, is comprised in the projecting low buildings in front of the three storied building, and th at he do pAY the costs in curred. If about two or three o'clock on the morning of Saturday last any one had chanced to wander down Barrack •street, one of the vilest of the many vile back slums in Douglas, Isle of Man, he would have found, lying in the gutter, the stinking half-frozen refuse water flowing over and around her, the body of a woman, literally half-naked, and aotually frozen to death, the night being piercingly cold, with a hard frost, If the wanderer had been an inhabitant of the town he would, immediately on looking at the face of the dead female, have recognised the depraved, besotted, bloated countenance of the drunken and dissolute Hon. Jane Yelverton, alias Jenny Keefe, by which name she was better known, the widow of the Hon. Augustus Yelverton, brother of Lord Avonmore, and fellow uncle with that nobleman to the noto rious Major Yelvetton, whose celebrated marriage and law suit have for the last five years occupied the attention of the public. At an inquest held on the body of the woman on Saturday it was stated that the Hon. Augustus Yelverton, the husband of Jenny Keefe, to whom he was married about 25 years since, died in Liverpool about two months ago; that he left her a considerable sum of money for her mainte nance, which was to be paid to her in instalments by a lawyer in Liverpool, from which town she had arrived in Douglas on Tuesday last, her fare to the island (accord ing to a statement she made to a woman in a low public-house on the night before her frightful death) having been paid by the lawyer in question. The in quest was held by James Goll, Esq., high bailiff of Castle town, and during the proceedings he stated that the Hon. Augustus Yelverton and the deceased had lived in Castletown for many years, and so dissolute and ' depraved w,re they in their habits that ho had committed them to prison fully a hundred times for being drunk and disorderly. At this time they were allowed by Lord Avon more, it was understood, an ample income to keep them comfortably, but they were in the habit of spending it in drink as quickly as they got it, and they scarcely ever had on them sufficient rags, let alone clothing, to cover their nakedness. Jenny Keefe, who was a low-born woman, was the third wife of the Hon. Augustus Yelverton, he having previously been married to a Spanish lady and an Irish one. He had no children by his last wife, but he had several by his former wives. In consequence, however, of his depraved habits, they were taken from him, and they now occupy re spectable positions in life. Although in rank and in educa tion also there was such a difference between Jenny Keefe and her husband, yet they were greatly attached to each other; they invariably accompanied each other, and if one of them was sent to gaol for some outrage against the peace committed during a drunken fit, it was the practice of the other to smash some shop windows, or make a disturbance in the streets for the sole purpose of getting committed to gaol also, in order that they might keep each other company. They scarcely had ever a place to lay their heads in, and they lived the greater portion of their time either in the streets or in prison. Such were the Hon, Augustus and Jane Yelverton ; and their dissolute lives and frightful fate —one dying in a low lodging-house in Liverpool, and the other frozen to death in the streets of Douglas—convey a striking lesson of the evils of intemperance. All the cloth ing that Jenny Keefe had on when she was found dead was an old gauze frock which did not reach to her knees, and was no thicker than a piece of paper, an old pair of socks which just reached above her ankles, and a pair of thin slippers. A few hours before her death she was seen stand ing in a house door close to where she was found dead, and was heard trolling out, in a voice husky with drink, a street ballad called " True blue for ever." THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON has comtauted to imprisonment for life the sentence of the soldier aici, re cently condemned to death for desertion to the enemy during the siege of Sebastopol.

Alderman WILSON brought up a report from the General Purposes Committee, which stated that having been in communication with Col. Frazer, the Commissioner of the City Police, and by his recommendation, after fully considering the sub ject, the committee proposed to make considerable alterations in the standings of omnibuses in Bishops gate-street, Gracechurch-street, and other crowded thoroughfares in the city. Some of these standings will be entirely done away with; and Alderman Wilson moved that the proposed alterations should be made public by advertisements in the newspapers Alderman COPELAND, M.P., wished to know whether the effect of agreeing to the report and to the motion proposed by Alderman Wilson would be, that the proposed change would be carried out without any opportunity being afforded to those who might feel themselves aggrieved to petition this Court, or to make their objections: Alderman WILSON said that the alterations would not take effect until at least a month after they were made public. Alderman CARTER said that a good many of the inhabitants of Bishopsgate-street considered the omnibuses coming to that neighbourhood a great convenience, and they objected to their being re moved, and a good imany persons had applied to him upon the subject. The motion was then agreed to, upon the under• standing that ample opportunity would be afforded to the inhabitants to make objections to the pro posed alterations. The LORD MAYOR called the attention of the Court to the subject of a legacy left by a Spanish gentleman, Don Matteo Lopez, who died at Mar seilles in September last, to be applied by the Lord Mayor of the city of London to relieve persons who had been sufferers by the want of faith of the Spanish Government in not paying the English cre ditors who had advanced their money upon the bonds and other securities of that kingdom. It will be remembered that in the first instance a communication was received from the United States consul stating that Senor Lepez having died, by his will left the sum of 1;3,681 in Spanish securities, at present in the hands of Messrs, Lizardi and Co., in London, which he wished to be divided among such persons as had advanced to the Spanish Government. It seems that Messrs. Lizardi have been applied to on the subject, and in a letter re ceived from these gentlemen in reply they state that the deceased was formerly p osses sed of the sum he referred to in Spanish Bond s , b u t they bad sold them in Sept. 1856, and r em itt e d the proceeds to him. All that now remained of the property of the deceased in their posse ss i on wa s some Spanish Certificates of the nominal va l ue o f a bout £BOO, and they left it to his lordship t o apply the amount as he should think fit. The LORD MAYOR said that in consequence of the statement that had already a ppeared a great number of applications had b een ma de by perso ne who considered themselves entitled to a share of the money, and he therefore thought it right to state publicly how the matter stood. The subject was then referred to the General Purposes Committee for them to do what they con sider right in the miater, afte r which the Court adjourned, CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, the gentlemen appointed by the Corporation of London to act as COMMlS sioners of Sewers for the City for th e ensu i n g year held their first meeting at the Guildh a ll , un der the presidency of the Right Hon. Lo r d M ayor . The meeting was very numerously attended. The mis Principal Mr. JOS EPH DAW, rea d th e commission, included the names o f t h e fol oin,ciwphaileh Clerk, fol lowing gentlemen :—The Right lion. the Lord Mayor, Alderman Copeland, M.p., Ald er man Wil son, Alderman Sir John Musgrove, B art., Ald erma n Challis, Alderman Sidney, M.P., Ald erman Si r F. a G.

De Jersey, E sq., was unani mously reappointed chairman o f t h e comm i ss i on ; and the LORD MAYOR, in retiring from the chair, congratulated that gentleman upon his reappoint ment, and spoke in eulogistic terms of the manner in which he had discharged the various duties of the office during the past twelve months. Deputy DE JERSEY briefly acknowledged the compliment, and said his best energies were at the service of the commissioners and the public. (Hear.) A discussion, which was opened by Alderman BESLEY, took place in reference to the appointment SANATORY CONDITION OF THE CITY. Dr. LETHEBY, the medical officer of the City, laid before the Court the following report on the sanatory condition of the City during the past week : ' To the Honourable the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London. " Gentlemen,—The inspector's returns which are before you relate to 195 houses that have been in spected during the week, and I submit a list of 56 places for sanatory improvement. "The markets and slaughter-houses have been duly inspected, and the officers have condemned 2,9671b5. of meat as unfit for human food. Most of it was in a diseased condition. " The mortality returns for the week are a little above the average for the season, the number of deaths having been 68, whereas the number for the corresponding week of the last eight years is 66. As the cold weather advances, the number of deaths increases; in the preceding week the mortality in the City was 57, and in the week before that it was 47. Daring the last three weeks there has been a steady advance of 10 deaths over the number of the week preceding. The chief causes of death have been as follows :—Phthisis, 11; pneumonia, 2 ; bronchitis, 17; mesenteric disease, 6 ; hydro cephalus, 2 ; croup, laryngitis, and diphtheria, 5; continued fever, 1 ; scarlet fever, 1; and chronic diseases, 39 ; making 19 deaths from tubercular dis eases, 19 from inflammatory affections of the lungs, and 7 from diseases of a zymotic character.—l re main, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " Hr. LETHEBY. " Ghildhall, Feb. 23, 1864." Several reports upon matters of minor importance were read, and the commissioners adjourned. Another Irish Abduction Case, The case of the pretty girl of Enniskillen, who was wooed and won for, in the first place, her money, and, in the second place, perhaps herself, is not fated to be without a parallel in many of its details. Strange and irregular marriages, like mis fortunes, don't come singly. Susanna Quinton, of Enniskillen, got a lover and a husband because she had £l,OOO. Susanna Bolton, of the county Wex ford, whose case we are about to narrate, got a lover and a husband because her father had boasted that £l,OOO would be her marriage portion. The two Juliets are Protestants; the two Romeos Catho lics. In each case Romeo carried Juliet off, got married irregularly and illegally, and is now in the happy meshes of the law. Richard Bolton is a well-to -do farmer in the county of Wexford. He lives at Ballycarnew, on 200 acres of freehold. He had a daughter, Susan, just turned 18, a pretty, dark eyed lass, the pride of his heart. Latterly, Farmer Bolton had been thinking on Susan's mattimonia prospects, and it was well known in the village he had expressed his intention of giving her the tidy sum of £l,OOO with which to commence house keeping as soon as she found "a /over both gallant and gay." About two miles and a half from Bal lycarnew lived Michael Kavanagh, a carpenter. He came to the farm-house, saw Susan and conquered, But he was a poor carpenter, and a Catholic besides, and the stout farmer would not have him, and told him so. The,carpenter, nothing daunted, continued hishiss courtship. " None but the brave deserve the fair," he thought, and it was possible that if he could get his inamorata to Dublin their hearts could be combined in one without much trouble, and in spite of the obstinate old father. He laid. his plans before Susan, but she, having a scrupulous regard for her good name, rejected the proposal for a while, She was not, however, filled with the stubborn blood of h'er father. Michael's entreaties and her own affections induced her to yield, and on the 19th of September last, when Ballycarnew was wraped in slumber, the pair eloped for Dublin. Such is the power of mighty love." Bat they found in Dublin that they could not get married in such en off-handed way as they thought. They went to lodge with one Margaret Roache, in Hard wicke-phlcel and subsequently with John Collins, cab proprietor, of No. 4. of Mountjoy-place. They spent a month thus 11,2 • married ' and it became neces saryllme • but Susan would that they should go - ° ' not go until she was married. 1 le banns had bee n forbidden at the registrar's, and nottLi ng could be • • done at the Consistory Court without paper. John Collins volunteered to help them out of their ditty; culty. He accompanied them to the Consistory Court on the 131 h of October, and represented him self to be her legal natural father, "for the purpose of obtaining a licence from the surrogate of the arch-diocese of Dublin for the solemnisation of marriage between Susanna Bolton and Michael Kavanagh." He further said that his name was John Bolton, and affixed his mark to a consent in writing, authorising the marriage. Mary Anne Roache and Michael Kavanagh were present, and helped the de ceit by making an affidavit that Collins was the father of the girl. The ceremony took place shortly afterwards, and all went merry for a while. But trouble came before the honeymoon was long over. Mr. Kavanagh wanted his spouse to go to mass with him. She refused and disputes arose, in the course of which the means taken to procure the marriage came to light. Farmer Bolton communicated with the authorities, and the result was that John Collins and Mary Anne Roache were on Saturday morning last placed in the dock at the Capel-street police office, before Mr: Stronge, charged with making a false declaration to procure the marriage of Susanna Bolton, otherwise Kavanagh. Mr. Kavanagh is now "on his keeping," and can't be found. Mrs. Kava nagh made an affidavit setting forth the facts of the case as above narrated. Mr. John Martin appeared to prosecute; Mr. Ennis appeared for Collins ; and Mr. John Norwood, barrister, appeared for Roache. Richard Bolton, father of the girl, deposed that his daughter was a minor, having been born on the 17th January, 1846, and that he never, directly or indirectly, gave his consent to her marriage, nor,was he present at all. Cross-examined by Mr. Ennis—Where did you first see your daughter after her elopement ?—ln Gorey, after she came from Dublin, about three weeks afterwards. Kavanagh and she told me they were married. They lived with his father. When I heard of her elopement I went to old Kavanagh, and asked him about my daughter. He told me she was away with his son. I asked him where they had gone to, and he would not tell me. I said, "If you do not send her home, I will never give her a penny of a fortune, and you may as well send her home." I proceeded then to Dublin to make inquiries, and remained there a day or so. That was 10 days after they went away. I found out they were not mar ried, and also where they lived ; but they kept away from the house, for old Pat Kavanagh came to Dub lin with me when he found out my intention, and as he got to the housebefore me he took them away. I then gave notice to the police. Susan Bolton, otherwise Kavanagh, was also examined. In answer to Mr. Ennis, she deposed that she was a month in Dublin, all but a day or two, before her marriage, and that during the greater portion of that time the man Collins took the greatest care of her, allowing her to sleep with his wife. Did you submit to any person, that for the sake of your character you ought to get married before you could go back to the country P—No. Did it strike you that your character was com promised by being away with a young man that way without being married to him ?—Yes, of course. Did you say you could not return home unless you were married ?-4 said it would be wrong—of course it would be wrong. '4 to assist you to get You implored several pawn..
